myopia management at hometown family eyecare
The rate of myopia, or near-sightedness, is growing across the world, increasing from 22% of the world’s population in 2000 to 33% in 2020 – half of the world’s population expected to be myopic by 2050. Most myopia is caused by the eye length growing too quickly in childhood, especially those under age 10. This means that the most important opportunity to slow eye growth is when children are younger.
Dr. Warner strives to provide options to help manage the progression of this growth through many different options ranging from contact lenses to eye drops. For more information on myopia management, please follow the link below.
